U.K. rot 'n' roll legends Carcass posted the first video in a series of track-by-track videos leading up to the release of "Surgical Steel," the comeback album which is due out September 16th (UK), September 13th (Rest of Europe) and September 17th (North America) through Nuclear Blast.

As the September release date for the long awaited comeback album from Carcass approaches, a second track from the upcoming eleven-song disc has surfaced. Below is an upload of the song "The Master Butcher's Apron," which will be track number five on "Surgical Steel."

The album will be released on Sept. 13th (EU), 16th (UK) and 17th, (NA) via Nuclear Blast Records. The band recorded four additional songs during the "Surgical Steel" sessions that were not included on the album: "A Wraith in the Apparatus," "Intensive Battery Brooding," "Zochrot," and "Livestock Marketplace."

After releasing "Illusions Of Grandeur" last year to critical acclaim, Sweden's Evocation is now ready to release a new EP, entitled "Excised And Anatomised," featuring five cover versions of metal classics.

Evocation's rendition of "Corporal Jigsore Quandary" can now be heard below, thanks to Decibel Magazine.

Due out digitally on September 3rd in North America, "Excised And Anatomised" is available for pre-order at CM Distro on dark red vinyl (USA exclusive color limited to 100 copies).

The full new album "Surgical Steel," the band’s first studio release since the 1996 LP "Swansong," was produced by Colin Richardson and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap.

"We went back to working with Ian Tilton, who is an iconic English photographer famous for working with The Stone Roses,” stated frontman Jeff Walker regarding the cover artwork. “He actually did the front cover for Necroticism... as well. We've deliberately tried to evoke the feeling of that album and Heartwork.”

"Book your cabin now at this location and be part of Heavy Metal History made in the Caribbean once again on 70,000 Tons of Metal!"

Speaking exclusively to Terrorizer magazine, British extreme metal legends Carcass have revealed that their new album title will be "Surgical Steel." This will be their first album since 1996's, "Swansong" and the first not to feature drummer, Ken Owen, whose place will be taken by Trigger the Bloodshed skinsman Daniel Wilding.

Guitarist Bill Steer told Terrorizer: "I found myself playing riffs that sounded like Carcass. This was after the band had finished the whole reunion cycle of shows and festivals. So officially I would have been playing with other bands and stuff, but for some reason whenever I picked up a guitar at home I was coming up with riffs that sounded like Carcass.

"I got on the phone to Jeff [Walker, bass/vocals] and said, ‘We could have a crack at writing a couple of tunes and seeing if they’re strong enough and take it from there’. We also agreed, if it didn’t sound like Carcass or have that kind of vibe to it, we would just drop it. So that was the thing, we got together and started working on some stuff and just immediately got the excitement back very quickly."

The album will contain fifteen tracks, and while the final tracklisting has yet to be confirmed, the names of the recorded songs are as follows:
